Ah, were we watching the same newscaster? New Yorkers were given a special treat they never get to see, stars ;)

I remember about 40 years ago my uncle in Western NY telling me about taking some NYC ghetto kids on a summer camping trip -- and how utterly in awe they were of the stars. They had never seen stars before. Maybe some kids did get a big treat last night.

Just wondering if the International Space Station was in a position to get some photos of the Northeast. It would probably look like a black hole had formed and swallowed the whole area. May some satellites got some night pix of the event. If so, can't wait to see them, maybe on Astronomy Picture of the Day site. Hope the powerless gets it back soon. We here in Memphis had a storm that knocked our power out for a week so we can relate to your current predicament.
